Nursing Homes in Albemarle, North Carolina

With a population of 26,760 people, Albemarle, North Carolina is a relatively small city. There are just 4 nursing homes there, which doesn't give you too many options to choose from. These nursing homes earned on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a terrible grade, but it is not quite as strong of a grade as we had hoped for either. This place's city grade was a bit better than the city grade of facilities in the local city of Asheboro, which received a terrible city grade. If choosing between these cities, Albemarle looks like a better bet. One of the major highlights of this city's report card is its stellar inspection reports, which we will address in the following paragraph.

This city's nursing homes received a fairly ordinary overall grade, however, we really want to point out that some of its facilities almost perfect health inspections the past few years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. Albemarle also excelled in the category of short-term care with a B. Lastly, this place earned grades of C and D for our long-term care and nursing areas respectively. Although we found its other categories to be acceptable, this low nursing rating is not a great sign for levels of nursing staffing.
